Scientists tracking the populations of certain freshwater fish have found an increase in the female to male ratio of several sma

ller fish species over the last 10 years. One group of scientists have analyzed the data and hypothesized that medications in wastewater have contributed to this change in fish populations. Another group of scientists have hypothesized that this population trend is part of a cycle related to climate and ecosystem changes. If these two groups of scientists have access to the same population data, why have they formed two very different hypotheses?

A hypothesis tries to explain a data at hand. It is an educated guess which is testable and falsifiable. To test a hypothesis scientists carry out experiments following the scientific protocol. Based on the data obtained in the controlled experiments hypothesis are either proven correct or incorrect.

I believe that the answer to the question provided above is that <span>they formed two very different hypotheses since it is what they saw according to what they knew. Also hypothesis is just an intelligent guess.</span>

Hydrofluoric acid and Water react to form fluoride anion and hydronium cation, like this HF(aq) + H_2O(l) rightarrow F(aq) + H_3
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Kc = 1.09x10⁻⁴

Explanation:

<em>HF = 1.62g</em>

<em>H₂O = 516g</em>

<em>F⁻ = 0.163g</em>

<em>H₃O⁺ = 0.110g</em>

<em />

To solve this question we need to find the moles of each reactant in order to solve the molar concentration of each reactan and replacing in the Kc expression. For the reaction, the Kc is:

Kc = [H₃O⁺] [F⁻] / [HF]

<em>Because Kc is defined as the ratio between concentrations of products over reactants powered to its reaction coefficient. Pure liquids as water are not taken into account in Kc expression:</em>

<em />

[H₃O⁺] = 0.110g * (1mol /19.01g) = 0.00579moles / 5.6L = 1.03x10⁻³M

[F⁻] = 0.163g * (1mol /19.0g) = 0.00858moles / 5.6L = 1.53x10⁻³M

[HF] = 1.62g * (1mol /20g) = 0.081moles / 5.6L = 0.0145M

Kc = [1.03x10⁻³M] [1.53x10⁻³M] / [0.0145M]

<h3>Kc = 1.09x10⁻⁴</h3>

How many phases are in a homogeneous mixture??
Mars2501 [29]
Technically there is only one phase unless you account for a solution where you have a pure liquid with something dissolved in it. Unless you count aqueous as a phase which is just dissolved. Since you are in high school the answer you are looking for is one.  <span />

if a carbon atom is bonded to two hydrogen atoms and two carbon atoms which type of bond must exist between the carbon atoms​
zavuch27 [327]

Carbon to carbon bond is nonpolar covalent since the difference of their electronegativity’s is 0. Carbon has an electronegativity of 2.5. 2.5 - 2.5 is 0 making the bond between those two atoms nonpolar covalent. I hope I answered your question.

!: (a) 20 cm: 80
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

THE LENGTH OF THE AIR COLUMN IS 9.5 CM

Explanation:

Taking the atmospheric pressure to be 760 mmHg;

When the capillary tube is held horizontally, the pressure of the tube is 760 mmHg

when the capillary tube is held vertically, the pressure increases by 4 cm = 40 mm

The new pressure of the tube is hence, 760 + 40 mmHg = 800 mmHg

Using the pressure forlmula;

P1 V1 = P2 V2

P1 A1 L1 = P2 A2 L2

where A1 and A2 is the area of the capillary tube and it is equal, it cancels out.

P1 l1 = P2 l2

l2 = P1 l1 / P2

l2 = 760 * 10 / 800

l2 = 9.5 cm

The length of the air in the tube is 9.5 cm.
